I've done this successfully using Siemens S7 1200 PLC & HMI .. it was way too complicated and expensive.
Simply: Enter a numeric number (base 10) on a HMI screen (Red Lion G304K200) and have 8 digital DO's express that number on a remote I/O device like ADAM 4050 .. or Perhaps a CLICK PLC's I/O module.
The question is... in the case of Red Lion HMI connected directly to the ADAM I/O module (say Ethernet or RS485)... obviously, the Red Lion would do the conversion and set the ADAM modules DIO's
But, could the CLICK PLC receive the numeric number and do the conversion, setting it's own DIO's?
